ABOUT US

Perez McKenzie Immigration is an understanding team of dedicated experts who support people who seek a better life.

We are a small, honest, and family-like immigration consultancy firm that operates with ethical principles and caring action towards our clients and colleagues. We value transparency, kindness, respect and fairness.

We know how hard it is, and we make it simpler for you. Our consultants are people who have been there. Immigrants who came to Canada, and care about making the immigration process easier for those seeking a better life.

We have over 10 years experience in immigration. We are committed to a high-level of competency and effectiveness which is consistently demonstrated by our founder and leader, Jenny Perez and all employees. The majority of our clients come to us as referrals from other clients. This is testament of our dedication to this value system

We are accountable to our clients. Our network of experts use their knowledge, expertise and passion to assist clients of all backgrounds and circumstances. We deliver the best solutions.

We welcome new ideas and value constructive feedback. This allows us to continue refining and improving our service. Evolution and personal development is important to us.

We are experts with drive, knowledge and experience; we are also human. We work hard to avoid errors. In the rare event an error occurs, we will be quick to disclose details, be compassionate with ourselves and accept constructive feedback as an opportunity for growth.

  • Equality. In law, women and men are equal in Canada
  • Respect for different cultures. Indigenous peoples were the first to welcome newcomers to what we now call Canada
  • Safety and peace
  • Nature
  • Being polite
  • Hockey. Canadians value equality, respect, safety, peace, nature – and we love our hockey!

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!
